BELVIDERE — Manley’s Belvidere Ford-Lincoln and Belvidere North High School raised $4,120 for the Blue Thunder Boosters at a recent test-drive event as part of Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR School program.

More than 200 city area residents test-drove a Ford vehicle at Belvidere North High School and Ford Motor Company and Manley’s Belvidere Ford-Lincoln donated $20 for each car.

The funds will be presented to the boosters during the halftime break of the Belvidere North and Belvidere Bucs high school football game to begin at 7 p.m.
